End Carnage

Finally! The DT plague equivalent seems to have abated this week, with the number of injuries, late withdrawals, and sub-vests back to its normal, manageable level. The popular players all seemed to fire in Round 6; so with the right Captain, you could have entered the fabled waters of 2300. Most though, would have been happy with 2100 this week.

We have a lot to get through this week, with Cash Cowing all the rage at this stage of the season. Let’s delve straight into the biggest issue of the week then: The Horse!

Giddy Up

Saddle-up, because I’m getting on the Horse this week, and so should you. I really shouldn’t need to convince you, but here are 5 reasons why, if you’re not sold on him or you’re scared of his $119,800 price-tag:

1. Let’s take a look at his back-story. A gifted junior but ultimately a late-bloomer, the Horse played all 23 games for Subiaco in 2011, eventually finishing runner-up in the Sandover Medal (WAFL Brownlow equivalent). He averaged 91.4 DT points in the WAFL that year, playing in a notoriously strong midfield. He’s now 24 years old, making him a mature-ager – and we all know how successful they’ve been in DT over the last 3 or 4 years.

2. He’s scored two tons on the trot so far, 101 and 123. Yes, it’s unlikely that he’ll average anywhere close to 110 this year, but his blistering early form guarantees his first two prices will be absolute belters.

3. Injuries to the other ‘experienced’ players are building up at the GCS, increasing his JS even more. Ablett is still missing, Rischitelli is still winged, Harbrow is out for two months minimum, and Bock has just broken his leg. Given his form and his status as a ‘bigger body’, you can be assured Horsley will be around for at least the medium term.

4. There are no other downgrade options on the horizon, and definitely not any of this quality. Giant Taylor Adams is the only other option, and I’d argue that his Mid/Fwd DPP doesn’t quite make up for his inferior JS, scoring and higher price. You need someone peaking around the MBR’s and beyond, and the Horse is your guy.

5. That brings us to the Byes. Horsley is valuable in the way that he’s a rookie NOT from the R11 Bye, unlike all our GWS rookies. That’s potentially one less donut right there.

So how do we get him in? As he only has MID eligibility, it has to be someone from that line. The problem here is that most of our rookies haven’t peaked yet (thanks to huge games on the weekend – cheers boys!) – and those that have, such as Adam Kennedy, could be part of an important Mid/Fwd DPP link. The way I see it, these are your options.

Bite The Bullet and Upgrade/Downgrade.

You decide to keep your DPP link (very important over the MBRs) and trade out one of your other Mids. For many, this leaves you with a choice between Magner ($260,100, 17BE), Shiel ($259,100, 8BE), or Coniglio ($250,600, 20BE) to make some cash, despite their potential to make even more in the future. The other downside here is that many of your other Mids haven’t peaked either, so you’ll have to upgrade to a defender/forward to avoid shooting yourself in the foot too badly.

Cash-Grab and Run

You decide that you want to give your cows another week or two to swell before you cash them in and pull a midfield upgrade, but you don’t want to miss out on this Cash Horse. You make a compromise of sideways trading a non-cow like Clay Smith ($149,100, 2BE) or Wingard ($167,500, 41BE).

The Horse over DPP

You decide that getting Horsley in is more important than the DPP link at this stage, especially with the downgrade stocks so barren (and maybe you think that Zorko is a good chance to have debuted by the MBRs?). So you trade out Adam Kennedy ($201,800, 50 BE) or Devon Smith ($256,300, 31BE). The downside to this is that downgrading Kennedy doesn’t really give you enough cash for an upgrade (in which case you may as well do the Cash-Grab and Run), and Devon Smith hasn’t fully fattened yet (in which case, you may as well go with the Bite the Bullet option).

Keep Mooing, Keep Falling

Yep, more Cash Cow talk. I make no apologies though, as it’s a crucial month for cash generation and it’s something that you really need to get right, because we don’t get another shot at it.

I said last Round to give your Cows another week, because one big score will keep them ticking over, while a poor score will engage the breaks almost immediately. Well, we actually had more of the former this week, which means that the cash growth will continue for another fortnight at least for some of these guys.

I’m talking about guys like McDonald (92, -25BE), Greene (122, -22), Shiel (72, 8BE), D. Smith (97, 31 BE) and Coniglio (97, 20BE). These scores will stick in the three-week moving averages and will power their cash-rises for the next few weeks; keep them and enjoy the cash. In the meantime, keep a keen eye on the fallen premiums and net yourself a bargain. Here are a few options to keep an eye on:

DEFENDER: Grant Birchall – 84.8 avg – 126 BE

Birchall had only the 60 this week, so his score will fall over the next fortnight because of that. He’s still a gun and the Hawks still want to use him at every opportunity, so consider him as a defence upgrade in two weeks for around $390k.

MIDFIELDER: Sam Mitchell – 107.2 – 147 BE

Mitchell is the one I’m really excited about. In 1-2 weeks time he should be absolutely bottomed-out, thanks to the 63 he eeked out in Round 5, which will likely not be repeated again this season. I’m looking at picking him up at around $470-$480k, just when my midfield rookies have peaked.

FORWARD: Travis Cloke – 83.3 avg – 113 BE

Not an unassailable BE for Cloke, but with back-to-back 76’s in his rolling average, he’ll surely dip over the next few weeks regardless. Travis is one of the few fallen premiums still on the way down, with Stevie J and Chapman reversing a slow start to the season. My forward line’s almost complete, but I’ll definitely consider him at around $360k in 2 or 3 weeks.

Makers & Breakers

Stanton! The +6 Combo King. The Striped Seagull. The Cheap-Mark Colonel. The Hard-Running Hombre. Whatever you want to call him, he had 193 of the best on the weekend, a DT record (since the DT competition has been running, anyway)! His inconsistency and hatred of a tag can be frustrating sometimes, but when you’re regularly reaching the dizzying heights of 170 and beyond, who cares? Stanton currently has the highest total points of any DTer in the game at the moment.

Reports that Stevie J traded himself into his own fantasy team this week should have been an omen that the fallen premium was ready to explode! Johnson has 163 on the weekend, only his second ton of the season, thanks to 35 disposals, 10 marks, 7 tackles and 3 goals. Now that’s a stuffed stat sheet.

He’s been quietly getting it done, moving strings behind the scenes – and that’s exactly how Heppell likes it. Many shied away from the Bomber defender in the pre-season despite his encouraging debut year, perhaps wary of the infamous second-year blues. HeppD has had no such ailment, scoring 137 points in Round 6 to take his yearly average to 96.7, with all of his scores 73 or above. Get on him!

Beams was a popular sideways trade option for the Fyfe LTI, and didn’t he reward those who paid top dollar for him! His 137 points from the weekend follows his 121 from Round 5, meaning that if you’re going to get on board, it has to be soon.

Toby Greene and his 122 points sneak into the Makers this week, just ahead of fellow rookie Kyal Horsley (123). Tobes gets the nod purely because he is more highly owned league-wide (last week anyway). The Greene Machine had 28 disposals, 9 marks and 5 tackles, which all contributed to his team-high score. It’s also done wonders for his progress as a Cash Cow, boosting him another $40k this week; and with a BE of -22 heading into Round 7, it ensures there is plenty more to come.

It’s hard to find 5 players to hate on this week, but I’ll try! And although he didn’t even play, Joel Selwood makes it onto the Breakers list for Round 6. Many of us were rejoicing mid-week when he escaped a suspension, and for what? So he could shit the entire football public and become yet another obvious-in-hindsight late withdrawal? Actually, no. I don’t believe this is his fault – I know he’d have wanted to play if possible. This was a tactical manoeuvre by the Cats’ Selection Committee, so they can take his spot in the Breakers. Pricks.

Old School DT logic says to wait for a fallen premium to bottom-out, then snaffle them up for unders. Well, the way Dal Santo is travelling, we might be able to get him for $350k! The guy is stinking it up, plain and simple. He hasn’t tonned-up since Round 1, and with 59 this week, things aren’t looking much better for him anytime soon.

It seems that each week, the Dockers have a high-profile under-performer. This week, it’s Duffield and his 38. He was making great progress with three 80+ scores on the trot, especially as a non-R13-bye defender, but pulled one of those customary sub-40 scores that are absolute week-killers. The good news is that for those who don’t have him, his price will be slashed over the next few weeks. Watch closely.

The much-awaited return of Grant Birchall was much-disappointing. I mean, 60 wasn’t terrible, but when one of your premiums decides to be a late withdrawal two weeks in a row, you kind of expect them to make it up to you when they finally get out there on the track. Especially when those who held Shaw were rewarded with 111.

Adam Kennedy is a dirty tease. 116 on debut followed by a solid 72 had us all salivating about this eminent Angus-grade Cash Cow. Since then, we’ve been rewarded for our optimism with 58, 41 and 40, split by a DNP. With a BE of 50 next week, he may just be ripe for the picking. I use ‘ripe’ loosely, as he’s only valued at a shade over $200k.

Tbetta’s Tweets

Tough break with Burgoyne – and I guess this question sort of applies to those who have Enright as well. My personal inclination would be to hold – I’ve learnt that the backline is so highly volatile, that anyone you trade in is almost guaranteed to get injured or experience a sudden role change. For that reason, I would hold fire, at least until after the MBRs when there is less room for error and no byes to manoeuvre. Besides, maybe Burgoyne will get his act together in the meantime.

Wow, the ruck crisis just keeps getting worse! McEvoy joining a long list of injured ruck premos… Anyway, in your situation, I would either hold or downgrade. You have Cox and Giles! The 2nd and 7th ranked ruckmen, by overall points! I honestly think you’d be better served by selling down to Longer and using the cash for an upgrade elsewhere, or holding McEvoy until he returns from injury. Especially with Brogan injuring himself again and leaving the door open for Giles. As for the MBRs – you’re going to cop donuts somewhere no matter what; may as well be in the rucks.

Great question! I haven’t really talked about backline Cash Cows (despite this edition of the Bullets being almost exclusively about our little money-makers), mainly due to the lack of downgrade options, as you say. When our only options are first-gamers Spurr (22), Bootsma (30) and Brennan (31), you know we’re in trouble. And it’s not just the low scoring that’s worrying; it’s the JS, of which Spurr is the rated the highest at ‘poor’. Brennan will be gone as soon as Schofield returns from suspension, and Bootsma’s next game may well be when they next play the Suns or Giants.

With that said, we need to pull the pin on Morris/Ellis at some point, especially if (like me) they are both languishing, unused, on your bench. They both have great JS, and still with some more room to grow, I’d recommend keeping them until someone decent comes along. Although, in scanning some of the names, our best hopes are probably Sam Darley or Jeremy Webberly. Ouch.

Lucky Number 7

All eyes will be on the Gold Coast Suns vs GWS Giants clash this week. Who will win? Or could they somehow both lose? Will Gary Ablett get up and play? And, of course, will our rookies make us some more cashola?
Other issues that will plague the DT community this week are:

# With Goodes out for 6, who should we trade him for?
# Will Broughton be in trouble for sliding into, and injuring, David Swallow’s ankle?

# If Gablett does play, would you be man enough to chuck the ‘C’ on him?

# What should we do with the injured McEvoy?

# Will Thomas Couch finally get a game after yet another BOG performance?

I’m sure there’ll be plenty of discussion about these issues and others over the week, and, of course, DT Talk has you covered.

I have a small dilemma on my hands, I want to get in the horse but dont know who to get rid of to make way. Should I get rid of one of my rooks, coniglio, D smith or magner, or should I let them mature for another couple of weeks and downgrade nick dal santo before he ruins my life any more and bleeds any more cash? Cheers

I have around 300k in the bank already so money isnt really an option at this stage I just cant see if i should keep going with dal santo as he keeps letting me down each week and is only gonna keep losing money

Too early to trade out kennedy? or should i take out he magnet who is now i think a bit more used to his tagging role. Want to get in Horlsey think week. Still cant Blieve stanton with 193 and one of my mates traded him in rd 5 and traded him out just Bcause of his 77. haha lols

This week was the week it all came crashing down..Dodged all the bullets for the last 3 weeks and was travelling nicely still hit 2000 but not nearly enough this week.

Was hit with Selwood out no cover holding Ablett and Csmith wasting space. My rucks were chugging along nicely until again I get hit and McEvoy goes down. Its now tight for MBR structure for him to come back with Hmac and Giles

Lastly much deliberatiion with Chapman Vs Christensen to be traded in for Callinan Vs Kennedy, i decided on the cheaper option (Christensen) and the player annoying me (Callinan) rather then looking at it rationally

Now I have to look at what to do..Get in the Horse! What about Kennedy stinking up my forward line and likely lose of money, McEvoy going down.Selwood and Ablett best be coming back.

Funny thing we say the back line is volatile and you mention it as well Tbetta but in all honesty my back line has been functioning perfectly, only had Hargraves late last week which was covered by Khunt.

thoughts of andrew walker as a unnique looking to be playing though the mid a vit and should score a goal or too a game??? i have 409K for a fwd and will probs go andrew walker, zaha, cloke or roughhead??
thoughts?

great article tbetta :)
What should i do boys
Trade magner for the horse
or trade morabito for the horse so i can use morabito as a downgrade target for other rookies in my mid. Morabito has proven useless so far as he is still injured.
I also have conigs but i belive he still has some high scores to get as he wasnt #2 draft pick for no reason!
Any tips?

I’m looking to trade out Parker as I think for a mid he has peaked to bring in Horsley. That will give me $517,000 in the bank for the mid season upgrades and Cash Cows to be peaking ready for the second half run.

with goodes out for 6. i find myself in a problem.
6 weeks. for most this is an obvious straight swap for a premo (robinson would be my option), or a downgrade to an up and coming rook (adams???).
however, i have cover. i have good cover. every week my mid and forward line would look like this
murphy, ablett, jelwood, thompson, greene, horlsey with goodes and j-mac on the bench.
sidey robbo danger chappy martin stanley trealor and smith and kennedy on the bench.

this would save me two trades (as goodes is almost a must have come finals time) and should lose me around twenty points a game, not that much in the scheme of things, i could make that up by choosing the right captain, or by choosing ellis or morris right, or giles or kreuzer, or j-mac or horsly, or trelaor and smith. This idea proabbly sucks, but having goodes out would mean choosing only one out of jmac, horsley and greene.

the current trades i’ve done is
magner>horse
sheil>robbo (subbed forward for goodes)

Yeah, but to do that i’ll need a DPP link, which i currently dont have and would only get by downgrading magner to adams(who i dont like the job security of).
That is why i could first trade out
Magner>horlsy
Sheil>robbo who will sub for goodes.

Then next week trade out goodes (assuming the injury dosent get any better) for a bottemed out midfielder ala mitchell.

ive got 17 and looking to offload shiel to horsley then upgrading D.Smith to a premo, whilst next week ill upgrade my defenders (ellis,morris), not sure if i should be using the trades early but i do want to keep my team strong with upgrades then holding off for a while, in need of some advice.

I have 19 left and am looking at getting Horse and getting rid of Kennedy this round. Im hoping to use a few- maybe one or two between now and MBRs to get the cash I need to just trade rookies that clash so i can just upgrade during that time rather then sideways or cop donuts.

i have 12 trades left after another two this week. these have been my trades so far
scotland to carrazzo (who then got injured so went carrazzo to heppell which worked out well)
broughton to goddard
gibbs to murphy (form slump was costing me)
coniglio to greene then greene to mcdonald before mcdonald’s price rise
kennedy to treloar
mumford to sandi (injury)
fyfe to robbo (injury)
goodes to beams this week (injury)
clay smith to horsley this week
that’s 11 trades, almost half of which have been because of bad form slumps and injury. the rest, cash cowing. this year i’m going for the whole “bring in premo for cows as soon as possible” strategy so i can start getting 2200-2300 points asap. most of you would call me stupid but the winner of supercoach and 23rd in dreamteam did this last year… seemed to work for them!

Might work for some, but it seems like it hasnt for you. Of those 11 trades… About 5 were just wastes.
Why did you trade greene out after 1 price rise???? You failed with the carrots one too.
What is your ranking and what is your average score. If your average score is not above 2100 then you have failed. If you are ranked top 4k then you might have a chance, but if you cant rise to top 100 in the next 4 pr 5 weeks… Fail

the way i truly look at it… my season has been over for about 3 weeks now so i have gotten to the stage where dreamteam has become more about how much i can experiment with my team. i still have chances to win each of my leagues which is what im really playing for but i just really want to see how i can get my team value in the quickest time possible and play for weekly prizes basically… i know it sounds stupid but all hope has been lost with my team for a while now

scotland to carrazzo (who then got injured so went carrazzo to heppell which worked out well)
broughton to goddard
gibbs to murphy (form slump was costing me)

That equates to 4 wasted trades from what I am looking at. Mate you need to stop trading for the next few weeks and back in the guys that are already there otherwise you will have absolute mayhem over the MBR’s.

Im right with ya mate… I’ve been trading heavily the whole season and I am on 15… First few weeks
Started shit but have gone up the rankings in the top 5000. My forward line is full of premiums and my midfield is nearly done… Next week will be making 2 more trades as I have 300000 in the bank.. I’m hoping a few more rookies come down in the back line so
I can upgrade aswell… Can’t wait pumping out 2300 scores every week

i have 12 trades left after another two this week. these have been my trades so far
scotland to carrazzo (who then got injured so went carrazzo to heppell which worked out well)
broughton to goddard
gibbs to murphy (form slump was costing me)
coniglio to greene then greene to mcdonald before mcdonald’s price rise
kennedy to treloar
mumford to sandi (injury)
fyfe to robbo (injury)
goodes to beams this week (injury)
clay smith to horsley this week
that’s 11 trades, almost half of which have been because of bad form slumps and injury. the rest, cash cowing. this year i’m going for the whole “bring in premo for cows as soon as possible” strategy so i can start getting 2200-2300 points asap. most of you would call me stupid but the winner of supercoach and 23rd in dreamteam did this last year… seemed to work for them

Too early to trade out kennedy? or should i take out he magnet who is now i think a bit more used to his tagging role. Want to get in Horlsey think week. Still cant Blieve stanton with 193 and one of my mates traded him in rd 5 and traded him out just Bcause of his 77. hahaha lols

I was wondering if there was anyone who had done that with stanton. It was an interesting decision to trade out a completely healthy mid averaging 126, but anyway.

My girlfriend has had Stanton from the start, but she can’t get the captain choice right. When Stanton is her captain (including loophole VC) he averages 95, when he doesn’t have the C he averages a lazy 174 lol.

Also my mate traded stant in for ablett (good choice), but then unaware of the loophole he put him as capt only scoring 77. Feel sorry for him, 6 players in his team are geelong + C Enright and doesnt have giles instead his ruck structure is probably gonna stay the same 4 the rest of the season -> Cox, Hale, Lycett, Stephenson.

Can someone please explain to me the MRP? I have now discovered that I have no idea what they are thinking.

Last week Raines cops one week for a strike on Selwood. McKernan gets one week for a strike this week. I see why. Then they go and say that Ryder’s strike doesn’t warrant a sanction because it was delivered with an open hand? Would have thought a strike is a strike. Open hand or closed fist. It was surely worth a reprimand at worst.

Then last week, Tex Walker goes sliding into a contest and gets off due to no injury to the concerned player. Broughton slides in (IMO no where near as bad as Tex’s) and he gets a reprimand or 1 week if he has an unsuccessful contest.

Last one. Last week Raines delivers a very high bump on Selwood and no charge. Then this week the smallest man on the Earth in Hams gets 2 weeks for a bump that has made more contact to his team mate than to A Swallow.

The MRP is becoming a lottery from week to week. I have no idea what is an offence and what isn’t anymore.

I can’t explain it… it’s been a joke for a while now. A bit like the interpretation of around the neck. Simply do the four-year-old flop in a tackle or duck into it and it’s your free. I remember the days when if you ducked you were fair game. Fkn awesome days those! Don’t get me started on incorrect disposal either. Whole system’s a mess really.

I hear ya. I played many years ago and if I ducked into a tackle the umpire would yell out “you ducked, play on”. It would actually stop you doing it because it was seen as an act of cowardice to duck. The Eagles have been awesome this year and full credit to them but this has definitely creeped into their style of play. It is actually detracting from the recognition they should be receiving for the brand of football they have been playing.

I blame the ‘incorrect disposals’ on commentators. Blokes like Dwayne Russell and Dennis Cometti. Terms like ‘prior opportunity’, ‘knocked out in the tackle’, ‘incorrect disposal’ and ‘he dived on the ball’ drive me insane. I wont go into it now cause it might take all night.

Rids, with u there mate. MRP are fast becoming a joke, only people in the country who don’t need any evidence to charge someone……..ask Montagna!!!
Broughts one is a joke, this sliding in was there originally to protect the bloke who was first too/or over the ball……….now its gone viral!!
Watched the interview with MRP chairman Mark Fraser, and very unimpressed with his responses.
Clean up the dirty stuff off the ball / behind play and stop picking up blokes playing the ball!!!

I watched the same interview and was absolutely baffled which led me to the above rant. I love this game and like to believe that I know quite a bit about it but guys like Fraser really confuse me. I knew Jeff Gieschen from years ago when he was the coach of the Wodonga Bulldogs. His views have changed since the change of job. Would love for the 2 to have a conversation with each other now if that makes sense. 1990 Jeff meet 2012 Jeff. He was actually the coach of one of the teams involved in one of the greatest all-in brawl grand finals of all time. The game was labelled the ‘Bloodbath’ from memory. Ovens and Murray League GF 1990 for anyone that wants to google it. How times have changed!

I was watching On The Couch last week and guys like Roos and Healy (love them or hate them, stalwarts of the game) were speechless how Walker got off.

Yes mate, i think some people lose touch with the reality of the game when they get higher up in the pecking order. Some very bizarre judgements throughout this year and have a feeling it won’t get any better.

Your logic is impeccable. Of course, the stats do not bear out that playing weaker opposition results in higher scores nor better opposition in lower scores (Greene pkaying Carlton should not have resulted in 123, right?).

So, assuming the big DT Caveat that anything is possible, I would definitely trade Magner over Coniglio and McDonald.

Matt, i have a bit of a theory to this in that the top sides (Carlton) obviously have no doubt they will win these type of games so don’t man up as tightly resulting good scores to the likes of Greene.
They play against one of the other bottom sides (say Melb) and they know they need to play well to avoid humiliation……..so tight contest with limited “free” possessions.
Having said this, there are always exceptions to these rules!!!

Have just realised a massive flaw to my backline having started with Adcock, Waters & Hargrave, believing that Hargrave wouldn’t end up a keeper. I now have the problem tho, in that I have 3 potential keepers in the round 11 bye. what should I do, trade Hargrave before round 11? Or trade an under performing Adcock before round 11, or just cop a donut?

Cheers for the reply, talking a lot of sense and pretty much confirms what I was thinking. Going for the league now as the last couple of weeks have left me down about 4k overall. Still wouldn’t mind a top 1000 finish after fading from around 5k at about round 15 to12k overall last year.

On the plus side I think it’s the first year my defence has in the main been reliable!

Agreed, but I’d already gone Ellis & Morris and didn’t want to waste the trades early on to get him in thinking he probably wouldn’t stay at that scoring level. Haven’t had to make a trade in my backline yet tho, and hopefully won’t have to for a while so can’t be too displeased with it.

should i trade smith for horsley or magner for horsley? magner seems to have flatlined but smith may not be able to break back into the bulldogs side since he was omitted a few weeks back… feedback would be great guys

also Ablett, Risky and Swallow have fitness tests this week and if there all named then he might not score the same. BUT saying that his 2 games he has had 8 tackles and 7 tackles so he gets quite a few points that way…..so who knows!

Everyone Beware!!!! You must not play Horsely on field (even though I will be)
Reason is:
Round 1: Played Coniglio ahead of Magner, Cost me 50 points
Round 2:Played Sheil ahead of Magner, cost me 50 points
Round 3:Played magner and he scored 48!!
Obviously haven’t had Horsely in the last two weeks so missed out on his centuries.
Expect a 50 from him this week.

with swan and pendles in my mids, magner is just as undesirable for the byes as shiel. I’ve got thompson and will probably hang onto jmac, so both mags and shiel have to go. But it doesn’t matter who goes first, so mags it is

Hey guys im ranked 7015 and have 15 trades left. Traded magner to Horse this week to make 350k in the bank. Ive been aggressivly trading and its working off. I have 530k for a midfield with my second trade this week. I already have Mitchell, Watson, Thompson and Ward Premos. Who should I bring in? Thinking Greene to pendles!

Hey Scotty. It isn’t mandatory to make 2 trades every week. I reckon the Magnet to Horse trade should be the only one for you this week. Let little boy Greene fatten up so he can become a super duper premium one day ;-)

I wouldn’t suggest trading Dempsey to Johnson to anyone so wont start now.

His so called letting you down was his first game back from an injury lay-off. One bad score wont break your year.

I also think that Adams is fine but I am not in the inner sanctum of GWS. Guys in the know are saying he has JS issues. These are the same guys that advised people that Miles has JS issues before the season started so I am inclined to believe them.

I think that advice should be free and shouldn’t come with a ranking so wont supply mine. Keep Kennedy until a Zorko or Couch starts playing. From what I am hearing and reading both should be very close to debuts this week.
